[POV] Local Hero Biker Saves Ambulance

Welcome! Today, we join a French motorcyclist who stumbles on an ambulance struggling to get through traffic on the highway. The ambulance, responding to an emergency call, tries to navigate through heavy traffic but is held back by full lanes of cars and trucks. The motorcyclist decides to help and clear a path for the ambulance. Let’s see how he manages to do so.

mans directing traffic give him a raise

People like these may one day be the ones who help save your life because you got to the hospital before it was too late. Great respect for their consideration.

In Germany, it's mandatory to open an emergency lane in heavy traffic, even if it's moving slowly... sadly not everyone cares

[SophiaF]

It baffles me how a lot of these drivers just do not move over at all and stick to the center of the lane.
Check your fking mirrors and don't be an entitled bastard. What if your child were in the back of that ambulance and died because people didn't move out of the way?

Ambulance: (having trouble getting through traffic on the highway)
Bikers: And I took that personally...

In the first one, i was thinking, "ok, he is trying to help, but is it really doing anything?". The second clip answered that, lol. Always makes me happy to see bikers doing good.

[GameRaptor]

I hate how some people always wait til the emergency responders are right behind them before they drive to the side, the sirens are earrapingly loud for a reason

[KH]

It really feels so much more reassuring having a motorcyclist ahead of you! Might actually not be a bad idea having volunteer bikers for such a job. I'm sure there are a lot of people who wouldn't mind being a helping hand if they are already out and in the area of an ambulance who isn't escorted. It would save on police resources and obviously help out the ambulance the most.

I’ve never seen so many stupid drivers who can’t just move over a few more inches. All blockers should have their tag numbers reported and issued a hefty citation.

When i was a child, i would always wave at police cars, firetrucks and ambulances and get excited when they waved back so that thumbs up makes my heart melt🥹 also makes me realise that maybe ambulances should always have an escort motorcycle on busy roads!

[andrewjones-productions]

Wow! What these motorcyclists did is of course dangerous and at great risk to themselves. However, that is not a criticism, but rather an acknowledgement of their courage and a salute to their wonderful display of kindness.

This is why my driving instructor trained me like a bloodhound to check my mirrors in regular intervals and move to the side as soon as I hear sirens.

[skylord]

I'm an EMT in the US and I'm glad that every service I've worked at has variable sirens, wails, and airhorns. changing the tone makes it much more noticeable, especially now with cars having better soundproofing and people probably keeping their windows closed due to the smell of traffic. Also, the two two-tone probably becomes background noise if you hear the same thing for a minute straight when you are stuck in traffic, making it hard to know by sound when the ambulance is closer.

I heard about France, that in some places, they already have bikers as part of ambulances. They have special jackets on and they drive in front of the ambulance to make space. I even saw a video here once. They are in pairs of even three bikes. They also clear and secure crossings and roundabouts. It was impressive to see. They are surely especially trained and the people have more reapect of them. They also seem to know how to best clear streets quickly. It was very smooth.

Gave me the goosebumps. Quick thinking and a lifesaving gesture. Love that the hospital or whomever is in charge of the ambulances dashcams shared this

[amandaholt]

I always tell people, if I found myself in need of help, I’d much rather go to a biker group than a church. The bikers I’ve met have been some of the most kind hearted people.

[BigSteve_Gaming]

This should be implemented in busy cities where emergency vehicles often get disregarded.

[MrSaemichlaus]

In Switzerland, it's mandatory to form a clear path for rescue services as soon as traffic comes to a stop. If you come to a stop in any situation, leave enough room to the car in front of you so you can see its rear tires. That way you can pull out of the line if you need to.

[Arjay]

Ugh, the second clip makes me so frustrated. So many bad and inconsiderate drivers either not moving over enough or not moving over at all when there is clear space to their sides.

[michaelwurst]

Those riders should and hopefully got recognition for putting themselves at risk regardless.
